In Office Liposuction for Fat Reduction in Houston and The Woodlands, Texas

As we age, it becomes difficult to lose fat in certain areas in our body, usually abdomen, flanks, back, and hips.  Liposuction removes fat in these annoying areas effectively.  Performing these procedures in an office setting is not only safe but more economical.

“Tumescent anesthesia allows the surgeon to do liposuction with the patient awake and allows a better approach to liposuction since the patient can move easily in order to removed difficult areas where fat accumulates,” Dr. Randy Birken said.  “Patients are comfortable, relaxed, and find the in-office setting to be less anxiety provoking as well as financial more acceptable.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified physician and has trained with the National Society of  Cosmetic Physicians  and the International Society for  CosmetogynecologistsHe is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and has his medical office in The Woodlands, Texas.

Laser Liposuction – Office Procedure in Houston and The Woodlands, Texas

Is in-office liposuction better than traditional liposuction?

“There are several advantages,” Dr. Randy Birken said, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics.  “First, there’s no general anesthesia, making the procedure safe.  And secondly, the surgeon can do more fat sculpturing since the patient can turn and even stand, exposing areas of fat that may be missed when the patient is sleep.”

In-office liposuction is less costly as well, since there are no anesthesia or hospital facility fees.  Done with tumescent local anesthesia, the patient experiences no pain during the procedure and can even watch as fat is reduced and suctioned away.

“It really is the way to do liposuction today,” Dr. Birken says.  “More effective, safer, and less expensive.  The Awake laser liposuction, using tumescent anesthesia, is preferred by most patients.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified gynecologist and member of both the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons and the American Academy of Cosmetic Gynecologists.

In Office Laser Liposuction in Houston and The Woodlands Texas

Liposuction is usually done under a general anesthetic. But some physicians perform the procedure with laser and while the patient is awake in an office setting.

“By using the tumescent anesthetic technique, the patient is awake and recovers quicker, ” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified physician said.  “Not only is it an easier procedure on the patient, but we can sculpture the fat better by having the patient turn and even standup.”

Dr. Birken uses laser to help improve healing and skin tightening.

“Fat has to be suctioned thoroughly,” Dr. Birken continued.  “But the laser adds a nice touch to the results.”
